I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey. I am a resourceful and motivated Counselor skilled in building therapeutic rapport and developing an appropriate and effective skillset for each client. I have worked in various roles and settings in the mental health field providing services to different populations and cultures. I have worked with clients who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, relationships and LGBTQ+ issues, among many other issues people struggle with daily. I have the education and experience along with the compassion and patience needed to make clients feel comfortable and open-up while providing the highest quality of services and care that all clients deserve.
I strive to provide a warm and non-judgmental space for my clients as I ensure their thoughts and feelings are validated. I will ask questions to clarify what is being said so I fully understand the client and their needs. It is important to me that I collaborate with the client in their therapy journey as they know themselves best. Sometimes we don't know where to start and I will be there to help.
Seeking help is never easy as it can be daunting and can leave us feeling vulnerable and misunderstood. I am here to make this process less stressful and will answer any questions the client may have about the therapeutic process.

Michelle is the first therapist I have ever met with and I do believe I got very lucky. When it comes to learning more about myself and the different exercises and practices to combat different issues Michelle truly offered so much insight. With great listening skills Michelle offered insights into things I had never thought about as well. Hopefully you can get the chance to work with Michelle as well.

Michelle is a wonderful therapist to work with. She always conducts herself in a professional yet friendly manner and makes you feel comfortable. She listens, knows when to cut you off, and most importantly when to hold you accountable and face the truth of the matter at hand. I developed better mental health skills and understanding through our time together. An overall fantastic therapist that I would recommend to anyone and would love to have again.

Michelle is great all around, but I especially appreciate their ability to let me set the tone and pace of the sessions based on my goals. They doesn't press or rush me, and can change course mid-session if I need it! Michelle's very patient and receptive and doesn't make me feel dismissed like past therapists have. I love getting sent helpful links and info to read that correlates to what I'm currently working on and is available when I need to message in between sessions. 10/10 therapist!

Michelle is very empathetic and a great listener who also doesn’t shy away from speaking the truth in such a respectful manner.

When you need a thought partner, this is exactly what BH and Michelle (and the other therapists, I assume) can provide. Sometimes just sending a message is all you need to do to get the help you need-- and that's honestly made all the difference for me.

I really like Michelle's approach. It's very down to earth, empathetic and kind. I don't feel judged, I feel heard and she gives me more perspectives to look at when dealing with my issues. I think she's great and trying to understand and see what it is I really need from her while I am on this platform. Whether it's advice or just a listening ear, she's made sure to let me know that I am the one that decides how I want to proceed and I've never had that kind of support from a therapist in the past.
